At about 38. Divorced 3 years later. Adultery on her part. Lost everything. Yay. -

Reading this thread is enlightening. I'm 30 and my missus of 2 years is nowhere near ready to get married. Maybe in 5 years. -

I hated being engaged truth be told. Too much time to think about what a bloody nightmare of a day you're in for (which inevitably you actually end up enjoying). -

Go married again (to someone else obviously) two years ago (and about 12 years after my divorce) . Not messed it up yet. -

Registered 7 years agoGot married in December, had just turned 31. Best day of my life. We were engaged for a year, no point in messing about just crack on.
Expecting our first child this December, went to the dating scan last week, was amazing. It's been hard to find the time for videogames and it's not going to get any easier! -

Because she was very emotionally manipulative. My world had just come crashing down and she used methods to make it even worse by pressuring the new fella situation onto me (I worked in the same place as her and him). In the end, I had to get out of the house for my own sanity, against everyone that told me not to, but in my mental state, I just couldn't do it, not with the job situation as well.
Cue 24-72 hours later, and he's moved in, she's all smiles and I'm a fucking wreck for 3 years. She only moved out of the area I live in about 6 months ago.
Still, you've got to laugh.
I am in a much better place now though, and a completely different person.
Edit - I will say though, that after losing my wife, my house, then my job, then my dad, then my mum into a care home 3 weeks later, all within the space of 3 years, I did not once give her the satisfaction of doing anything stupid against her or the new bloke. And I made sure that she found out about my new better paid job and casually drove my new car past her house a few times before she left.

I didn't start playing modern videogames until I had kids...
Once the first baby arrived, there was no more playing out and the wife liked the look of the Nintendo wii... it was a slippery slope from there on...! -

11 months. Doesn't really matter though, if you're both comfortable with the existing arrangement then there's no need to rush anything.

Registered 9 years agoMarried in 2006 aged 26, she was 25. I was easily the first in my group of friends to get married and have kids, they thought it was too soon, but I'm hoping to reap the benefits when child #3 leaves home and I'm still young enough to enjoy it. -

Registered 7 years ago@RelaxedMikki My wife is pretty reasonable for the most part but I imagine stuff like scheduling Destiny raids will be a thing of the past.
We'll see though, I'll be testing the boundaries and see what I can get away with!.gif)

Registered 8 years ago31, I don't think i'll ever get married at this rate and to be honest i don't think i have ever really been that interested in having a relationship. It's never really bothered me until the last couple of years until all of my close mates got married and i'm trying to figure some stuff out in relation to that so its been quite difficult for me, causing me a lot of anxiety and rumination. Wish i could turn back the clock a few years and be back to old me.
Saying that i almost fell into a relationship with a work colleague but she was involved with someone else so it was ended up being awkward, but for a while we pretty inseparable, but yeah. Didn't want to be a douche. But yeah perhaps something unexpected will happen one day.

Registered 9 years agoFrankly for a successful marriage I'd advise against fingering even one local, let alone 6 of them -
@Psiloc I am genuinely dreading the wedding and can imagine that scenario being played out 100% when plans get more serious. At the moment we're too tied up with our dump of a first house to even consider it. -
